He also developed the Polo brand for men with the 1994 release of Polo Sport Cologne, a masculine fragrance that drew upon bergamot, ginger, musk, lemon and rose for its fragrant notes.
A high point of the 90s was the release of Romance for Women (1998) a perfume especially suitable for evening wear. It also displayed his preference for the floral for women, blending musk, rose, ginger and violet.
The 2000s have seen many successful perfume and cologne releases, including Ralph for Women in 2001. This combined key floral fragrances with fruity ones to achieve an appealing feminine scent. It contains mandarin and apple tree leaves, along with yellow and purple freesia, magnolia, boronia, white orris, and musk.
In 2003 Lauren released two markedly feminine floral perfumes that are nonetheless distinctly different. These were Glamorous and Blue. Glamorous gained its appeal from a mixture of clementine, pear blossom, calla lily and Casablanca lily. On the other hand, Blue was refreshingly different, calling upon rose, gardenia, peony and musk. It is a lighter fragrance and is suitable for daytime wear.
